Today we met in building U before going upstairs to meet with other members of the team. We first met with a writer who showed us a lot of the projects he works on every day. After showing us what he did, he then completed one of his tasks for the day with us. Once he was done with that, we were then taken over to a copyeditors office. The copyeditor that we met with explained to us how a lot of people came from journalism backgrounds of newspaper companies before coming to work in marketing at SAS. He also explained to us things about his job and he talked about the different projects that he edits. After he explained all of that, we were taken downstairs to meet with another writer who specialized in booths and testing out the software. She explained to us how she tests out one of the programs that SAS is developing so that she can catch any glitches before the program is publicized. She also showed us the advertising side of marketing and gave examples of ways visuals were used throughout the field. After meeting with her, the whole marketing team we were working with took us to lunch, where we had lots of conversations about SAS life in general. After lunch, we went on a tour of the recreational parts of campus so that we could see the benefits that SAS offers to its employees. The last thing that we did was meet with a graphic designer in building R. She showed us some of the ways that she designs programs and we toured the area as well. Overall it was a great day and I am excited to go back tomorrow for my last day in marketing.
